Aquapacífico

¿WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

We are a center for innovation in aquaculture that emerged from the alliance of FCh with Universidad Católica del Norte (UCN), with the support of Corfo. This union involves two institutions with more than 30 years of experience in aquaculture that have led the R&D of the north-central zone.

What do we do?

We contribute to the development of the aquaculture industry in the north-central zone of the country, through the development and transfer of technologies of productive regional applicability for companies, entrepreneurs, and associations of artisanal fishermen that carry out SSA projects. We actively contribute to national aquaculture diversification, supporting existing projects for species with commercial potential, as well as strengthening ongoing industries.

What are we looking for?

To promote aquaculture in the north-central zone, contributing to the sustainable growth of the regions involved, and supporting the national aquaculture diversification with a harmonious development of the coastal communities through the SSA (Small Scale Aquaculture).
